The left-handed batsman from Punjab is one of the most elegant cricketers when he is at his best but off late he had struggled to perform for his team. Despite making his comeback into the Indian team, the 34-year-old failed to make a big impact in the ICC World T20 before being replaced due to an ankle injury.

The middle order batsmen missed the first half of the season due to the injury he picked up while playing against Australia in the World T20 in India. However, after making his debut for the Sunrisers Hyderabad he became an instrumental part of the champion team.

In 10 matches this season Yuvraj scored 236 runs at an average of 26.22 and with a strike-rate of 131.84 along with 13 glamorous maximums. The left-hand batsman smashed two well make half-centuries in the tournament and also made a quick fire 30 odd runs in the final. It almost looked like the “Sixer King” is back in his prime.
